two giants from a bygone age




And here we have three antiques from times past  

Great pics mate!! the bike and the train both look fantastic!!! looks a bit like the steam museum in PRESTON where me and supergrip live! in fact its a stones throw away from supergrips, if it is preston you could have shouted for him and he would have turned up on one of his mint bikes!!  

evening gaz, we will have to link up sometime and show these road bike boys what its all about, anyway these pics were taken today at Pilling on the back roads to Lancaster, and this engine has a bit of history with this area (its called the Pilling Pig) due to the squeals it made when it was in service  

Evening bud, sounds good to me, we dont have too many NW members and no meets round here unfortunatley! but we could have a mini meet sometime, you must visit supergrip sometime, (its worth the visit just to see the NOS grifter he has!!) Nice bloke, makes a good brew!! he has a fantastic collection bikes and parts!! I know pilling well, i came off the M6 today onto the A6 well before lancaster so was not that far from you, anyway, again, great pics, and hope we can have a meet sometime, we can get our silver MK2s together!  

lets hope that the engine didn't start rolling when ur grif was on the tracks

Your all more than welcome to visit over Christmas.  I'll let you into a secret Gaz. I don't make the brews, My other half makes them.    

Your secrets safe with me andy!!  

you guys should arrange a meeting round your way i would be happy to come up for a spin round the lovley country on our grifters!

im up for a ride out but i cant do weekends

i only live down the road from you cotter pin...i live in leigh.

nice one not seen me out n obout on my griff im always around leigh

ill look out for you.

why dont us north west grifters meet up for a ride in the summer

Sounds good to me!! i would be defo up for that!! i find the prom run from cleveleys to blackpool a fantastic ride on a nice day, no roads, just a big wide pathway, enough room for people and lots of grifters!!! and all by the sea!!  

that would be a perfect ride

yes sounds good to me

When (and if) the weather gets better and warmer we will have meet up and do some serious griftering!! the more the better!!    For any new members or anyone who has not seen this topic before heres some pics of the ride i did a while back, it was buzzin!! riding back in the blackness with just the ever readys to guide me, the MK2 just ate up the miles!! loved it.
